Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the franchise. The creator noted that if developers want to pour their life experiences into their work, they should do it with new IPs and characters.

Funny thing is, I realize now there’s multiple franchises I’ve stopped for gameplay reasons, not story.

In God of War, not only was I contending with an offset thumbstick that I didn’t feel like replacing, but I was stuck on a fight that I didn’t seem to be geared for, and was getting pummeled.

Last of Us, I got stuck on some stealth section against enemies that didn’t seem to behave as the tutorial suggested.

Demon’s Souks would just be leagues beyond me anyway, so no chance there.
